- 1 tablespoon fresh mint torn by hand
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pound fusilli pasta 454 grams

Instructions

- Meanwhile boil a large pot of water. Add salt to season water and cook pasta until 'al dente' directions. Before straining the pasta reserve 1/4 cup pasta water and set aside.
- As soon as the zucchini are done cooking turn off heat, season with salt and pepper, and stir in mint and basil leaves. Add cooked pasta and stir to combine. If needed add a little of the pasta water to make more of a sauce. Top with parmigiano and serve hot! Great as leftovers.
